Jun 20136000 mi | There are hoorible vibrations and grinding noises when under load at 1,200-1,800 RPM's, also when you are decelerating from 45 mph(coasting). My car has been misfiring and the idle has been jumping all over at idle causing my car to vibrate when my regular air is on. I have been getting a whining noise from my engine compartment, the dealer told me its the steering pump and that it is normal, but a steering pump should not whine the entire time driving the car. My Blind spot monitoring and lane detection do not work properly, and malfunction by going off when there is no car or if i am in my lane. This happens during clear weather, when it rains it happens all the time My passenger airbag off swich is on, while i am sitting in the passenger seat and i weigh 180lbs, I have had it repaired 3 seperate times under their recall but it is still occuring. I do not feel safe in this car I have been having a rattling sound coming from the outside of my drivers door, They told me its the mirror and repaired it, and it is still making the noise. My heated seats were not working, they had a recall and they replaced the harness. My windshield is whining while driving, I think it has a bad seal on it. My windshield wipers will not remove items such as leaves that have fallen onto the glass, instead it gets stuck under and causes water smears which you cannot see through! |
